I'll try to keep spoilers to a minimum here - mostly, it's that there are unexpected twists and changes of direction in this narrative.
A peel-the-layers-back examination of our society, starting with a look at psychopathic behavior from the perspective of a psychiatrist. But it shows that psychopathic behavior isn't as simple a diagnosis as it seems at first - and examines a cause behind that - and behind that, yet another cause. The flick ends with a hopeful suggestion of a cure for the problems.
I don't particularly take all of their conclusions as gospel, or believe that there isn't more to look at and consider here - but they do pretty well for a movie that doesn't quite last 80 minutes. It was certainly worth the time I spent on it, and I expect that I'll be mulling this over for some time to come.
